Java ... where does it go?

[Telsa]

I'm pretty green to Linux. Just recently installed Red Hat 7.1 because Mandrake 8 was giving me difficulties (my fault for trying to tweak and change things). Anyway, there is a chat site I'd like to go to but can't use because it requires Java. I've downloaded the required file because the net install didn't work. It's called jre.xpi. Now what do I do with it? I use Mozzila as my browser. Mary

I don´t use the X-windows utility. And lynx sure don´t support java. But... When I use windose I try not to support monopoly by using internet explorer. My advise to you is. Download the small, efficient and fast browser Opera 5. (

It´s ported to linux, it´s free and it supports java if you download that package. That´s what I try to use in the windows world and It´s so good that I must convince everyone else to use it as well.

Can you get into the TechTV chat room with Opera? That is where I want to go... but I always get a prompt to download Java when I get there.

It's a compuserve site. Mary
